_Global Horror: Hybridity and Alterity in Transnational Horror Film_
is an anthology textbook that challenges students to reconsider horror
films through the lenses of transnational cinema, evolving
technologies, and decolonial approaches to the genre. As such, the
book aims to increase our awareness of horror film histories across
vast geographies while examining existential questions about
difference, war, and the future of life on this planet.
This textbook is divided into two parts, organized by theme and
geographic range. Part One includes six reprinted essays speaking on
established subjects—German Expressionism, vampires, zombies,
science fiction, and more—from established modes of horror film
scholarship, including feminist scholarship and critique of
Blaxploitation horror. Part Two includes two reprinted essays on
J-horror and Korean horror film and six chapters of original writing
that explore understudied areas of the genre, including Middle Eastern
horror film, Indian horror film, Latin American horror film, and
Indigenous (North American) horror film.
A timely and complex exploration of the genre through the lens of
contemporary social issues, _Global Horror_ is an ideal textbook for
courses and programs in film and cinema studies.
